QPR and Blackburn settle on fee for Hoilett

QPR and Blackburn Rovers have reportedly come to an agreement on a transfer fee for Junior Hoilett.

The 22-year old Canadian winger departed Ewood Park at the end of last season to join the R's as a free agent but UEFA demanded that Rovers were due a compensation fee because the player was aged under 24.

The clubs have now agreed an initial fee of £3million, rising to £4m, to avoid the case going to a tribunal.

Hoilett joined Blackburn as a 13-year old but left after close to 100 first team appearances to sign a four-year deal with QPR in the summer.
